this was cute, short, to the point and really in character! I liked it. I think you potryaed everyone very well, but especially Dio!

Aww. My favorite part was where he stops in mid air to do the immelmann turn.

Hey, that was really good! I always kinda wondered how Claus and Tatiana would put up with getting rescued by Dio...

I like this a lot! Alis has a good handle on Dio's personality.

Nice read a Last Exile fic that wasn't totally depressing.

I really like this fic. It's good! I haven't seen that episode yet, so now I have an idea of what happened. This is very well written, and none of the characters were OC. Very good.

This...fic...is... SO AWESOME! Perfect, Perfect, PERFECT!! No ooc's at all. Dio was ... Perfect ^_^! Oh, I love good fics with Dio in it...

Thbat was pretty good. I liked the concept and your characterisation seemed on par. A really interesting way of looking at a character, and some very perceptive observations. Dio's 'voice' didn't sound quite right at times, but I imagine that's a very difficult feat to do, so I can't really consider it a major fault in this fic. In short a very cleaver, very pleasent story.

I read this fic here a long time before I signed up. I liked it then and I still like it now, so this review has been a while coming.

Half the imagery in this fic I wish I'd come up with myself. It's full of little touches and observations which lend to its authenticity. For instance I think you're spot on when you describe Claus as being utterly resigned to Dio's attentions; that by this point he sees Dio almost like a force of nature, quite impossible to stop or even understand, but capable of being managed in the right circumstances... just. Describing Dio as being unusally perceptive in some things while clueless in others is right on the money as well; I think it's a feature he shares with Claus, and which is implied through the tone and observations which Claus makes in the fic.

You've got the rhythm of Claus and Dio's conversations right, too. Despite his reservations about Dio you do get the feeling Claus is genuinely fond of and curious about him, and while he wants to be polite he's never quite ready for what Dio comes out with. Plus the bits where Dio entraps Claus as he's asking about Lucciola ("So curious, Immelmann?") and then mentions Lavie are perfect touches, especially the way you don't have Dio making too much of them. In his mood he would be satisfied to leave it at that.

You don't need me to tell you that the spelling and grammar are fine, though they are. The language is clear, and the style flows very well. You manage to weave together the descriptions of what is taking place with the insights and reflections of the characters without the two ever conflicting; it reads smoothly, the flow of the narrative isn't interrupted.

The only thing I'm less inclined to comment on is the development of the relationship between Tatiana and Alister, not through any fault in the story but simply because I'm much less familiar with them.

In short everything which happens would have happened: Dio would have begun composing a tune out of nowhere, he would have craned his neck back and Alister would wonder how he could ever manage it, Claus would have arranged the flight back on the grounds of not having to share a seat with Dio. The story just rings true.

Massive bonus points for choosing to make Dio and Claus the greater subject of this fic, but that's almost beside the board. Humbly requesting more Last Exile work from you, please!

Cute! You could use a little work in advanced punctuation; you seem to be missing a comma here and there. But very cute, and you write Dio fairly well besides.

It be cute^^ I love everything about Dio *sighs* I LOVE HIM^^ I've always known Tatiana didn't like Dio. I don't like Tatiana. AWESOME STORY!

Very funny story. Dio is so the best character, and therefor very well worthy of any literary attempts made on his behalf. :)

I liked the part about the bubble of personal space. And Dio's conversation with Claus. Once again, very amusing and entertaining.

Thats a nice story. Fits the personality of the characters really nicely.

Hello! you did very well on this fanfic! I like this one better than the last! I especially liked the part about Claus' bubble, ''Claus, like most people, had a bubble. A personal space around his body that he was used to maintaining, and that he did not wish people to encroach upon without warning. Because of his kindly, socially geared personality it was a relatively small bubble, but a bubble all the same.

Dio was constantly invading this personal space. And apparently oblivious to how this effected Claus
'' you did a good job on that part. also about dio, when he was walking, ''He seemed to think he was tightrope walking, as he wobbled slightly as he tried to walk in a single line, one foot in front of the other. His arms were held straight out from his body, the cables clutched in his hands.'' i can imagine him doing this in my head...good job!

^--^ heehee! I love this story! You've gone into Dio's character from other perspectives so well! I particuarily like Alis' opinion:

'Dio was much like a small child, goading an animal with a stick to get it to move for his entertainment.'

I agree wholeheartedly!
